Myself and a few friends set out on the 8th January to spend the month in Kenya's Rift Valley, we are flying a very small section which is a 200km stretch. The length on the Rift stretches from Tanzania up through kenya and into Ethiopia.
Over the last few years kerio near Iten has become a mecca for international paraglider pilots from all over the world. Item is also famous for kenyan long distance athletes, it has an high altitude training camp for long distance athletes from all over the world, over the last week we have bumped into Steve Cram, Mo Farrar , Laura Weightman the Chinese team and British team.
